H-1B Dismissed — Public Relations (2005): did not establish the proposed Public Relations Manager
Decision Summary
The appeal was dismissed because the petitioner, a restaurant and bar, failed to establish that the proposed Public Relations Manager position qualifies as a specialty occupation. The AAO concluded that the petitioner did not demonstrate that the job duties were so specialized or complex as to require a bachelor's degree in a specific field, a core requirement for the H-1B visa category.
